Description
The ESTW015A0A [Barracuda™] Series, eighth-brick, low-height power modules are isolated dc-dc converters which provide a
single, precisely regulated output voltage over an wide input voltage range of 36-75Vdc. The ESTW015A0A provides 5Vdc nominal
output voltage rated for 15Adc output current. The module incorporates GE’s vast heritage for reliability and quality, while also
using the latest in technology, and component and process standardization to achieve highly competitive cost. The open frame
module construction, available in both surface-mount and through-hole packaging, enable designers to develop cost and space
efficient solutions. The module achieves typical full load efficiency greater than 90% at VIN=48Vdc. Standard features include
remote On/Off, remote sense, output voltage adjustment, overvoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature protection. An optional
heat plate allows for external standard, eighth-brick heat sink attachment to achieve higher output current in high temperature
applications.
